So no movies with anyone jewish or israeli?

Like americans sending japanese to camps, do you really think this is the appropriate target for people protesting the Israeli rightwing majority party?

i think its odd to ban jewish products and people due to the actions of a government body they are not a member of and have zero impact on.

its like being pissed at german bakers for hitlers policies in world war 2.

  or what about boycotting americans for their causing almost every problem we face today?
  
  their election of bush… leads to over 2 million civilians dead and displaced in Iraq, which led to the Syrian war (multi millions dead), migration crises in europe, talking tens of millions of human lives destroyed.
  
  due to americans voting to elect a guy they wanted to have a beer with (george w).
  
  should we ban your citizens? because you cause almost every single issue being dealt with today on earth.

  I mean should the world ban Americans due to many of them voting to elect Trump? Its cool with all Israelis too? Don‘t come back with the „she served in the military“ when its a requirement for citizenship in Israel, as it is in Austria where I live.
  
  If she supports right wing Netanyahu policies of displacing palestinians, then yes, ban her.
  
  If she has nothing to do with israeli policies other than her place of birth…well i dont understand you in any way.
  
  I dont blame individuals for the actions of their shit leaders unless they actively are supporting those shit leaders and those actions.

    European here. I would support a travel ban for Americans.
    
    You can still ask for asylum

Is it at all like that? Or is it like sanctioning a country for its crimes, like sanctions on Russia for the Ukraine invasion?

  Should the world sanction the US for its CIA destablizing nations across tje globe for the past 80 years? What about the deaths and displacement of millions of Iraqi citizens post 9/11 (that had something to do with Iraq, right?)
  
  Do you really think, as an AMERICAN, the world should start punishing citizens abroad for their leaders actions? Whether or not they support them or have anything to do with their nations decision-making apparatus?

Ww2 or the Japanese internment camps, aren’t currently happening right now and continuing to happen. If they were they’d elicit the same reaction and actions. That makes you a contributor to what’s happening if you fund it, or patronize it.

  yeah but you did cause the entire middle eastern scenario we see today. USA invades iraq and overthrows saddam, killing around a million civilians and displacing around 2 million more.
  
  your country. not israel.
  
  the power vaccuum leads to syrian civil war and isis.
  
  we‘re talking millions dead due to USA policies.
  
  so who should countries be banning? Gal Gadot from Israel?
  
  Or you, from the USA?
